"Smell This Trash Can" - Kansas Senate Nowhere On Budget, Furloughs Considered

It's been many years since Boston Public, David E Kelley's drama about life in an inner city high school, aired on network television. But on May 27, Senator Pyle (Hiawatha) invoked memories of the Kelley show by holding up a trashcan and telling the surrounding senators "SMELL THIS TRASHCAN", noting that the smell from stinkbait, placed their by him, was a good comparison to the current bill in record.

Within the confines of Kelley's world, an unhappy parent - Mrs. Parks - would bust into the principle's office frequently yelling "SMELL THIS SHOE!""SMELL THIS SOCK!" with a long winded rant of how the smell of whatever she was offering could be compared to the failure of the teaching staff or principle at hand.
